Hi all,
First post. I appreciate all the info you have been discussing around concerning the Tesla's. Since I've test drove a Model S, I've been waiting for the appropriate family SUV to come out of Tesla. I'v been waiting as much as I can to replace my 2011 JGC for the Cybertruck. Unfortunately, I need to change it in the following weeks as it's not being reliable enough for my work schedule. It's in and out of the garage each month even if I given it the best maintenance.
Anyhow, I came to the conclusion that I need a performance family SUV for my family with moderate towing capabilities (3500lbs is enough for 90% of the time). I was debating going for a new JGC SRT. Test drove a MYP and I'm sold. It seems as spacious as my current JGC, but without the gas guzzling engine. It does look smaller tho from the outside.
It will fit my needs as performance goes also.
I was wondering what you think about the "ground clearance" of the MYP. My current JGC is 1.5 lifted with oversized 33" tires. I don't think about potholes or if the snow cover is too much. I'm getting anxious about going to "performance rims" with those 21". We have potholes everywhere and winter lasts 4-5 months, so we do get a fair amount of snow. I'll probably go with 19" for the winter setup.
1. Was is your take on the MYP for winter driving concerning the ground clearance on unplowed streets? is it too low? From what I read, it sits at around 6.5".
2. Should I go also for winter studded tires? I currently have Hakkapeliitta Studded tires and it's marvelous on about anything winter trows at us.
I've seem the reports from some users lifting the MY, but couldn't find a similar description about this subject.
Thank you for your time and advice,
Mark
